Glenview Box Alarm 11-3-12
The Glenview Fire Department responded to a report of smoke in an unincorporated area of Cook County at 3521 Central Road just before 10 p.m. Shortly after, additional calls came in about a fire on the third floor of a three-story apartment building, with reports that a resident was on the balcony and might jump. Glenview Engine 7 was the first unit to arrive and found heavy flames coming from a third-floor unit, along with a tenant in distress on the balcony. The incident was immediately upgraded to a box alarm.
As firefighters prepared for a potential rescue, they calmly urged the occupant not to jump. In a quick and courageous move, the resident managed to climb to the adjacent balcony and then dropped down one floor as firefighters positioned a ground ladder. The situation was under control, but the fire had already spread slightly into a neighboring unit.
Three Glenview engines were actively pumping water at the scene, while Truck 14 deployed its main to the roof. Mutual aid units included Northfield Squad 29, North Maine Engine 1, Battalion 1, Niles Engine, Ambulance, Battalion 2, Morton Grove Engine 5 and Squad 4, Northbrook Truck 12, Wilmette Tower 26, and Mt. Prospect Engine 14. The coordinated response ensured the fire was quickly brought under control.
Tim Olk and Larry Shapiro arrived at the scene, but both reached it after the fire had been extinguished. Some photos have since been shared, offering a glimpse into the intensity of the operation.
One image shows Glenview Engine 6 connected to a hydrant west of the fire building, while another captures firefighters working on the balcony and mansard roof. Additional shots highlight the efforts of Glenview and mutual aid crews as they overhauled the roof and worked to dampen the void spaces above the adjacent unit. A final photo shows Glenview Engine 13 supplying water to Engine 7, which was closer to the fire. These images provide a visual account of the swift and professional response by the fire department and their partners.
